‘Bridge of Blood’ premiere tonight at 8 p.m.Tonight the missionary drama,

"Bridge of Blood.” opens in Al­ford Aud. Its author, asst. prof. David H. Robey, along with ten Cedar UleCoMege students, began working at the beginning of winter quarter in anticipation of these per­formances.

The play recounts the story of five missionaries: Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, Nate Saint, Ed McCully and Roger Youderian. and their commitment to reach an un­evangelized tribe of Indians in Ecuador.

Excerpted from three volumes. Through Gates o f Splendor,

Jungle Pilot and Shadow o f the Al­mighty, this story preserves the historicity and authenticity of the original event.

One cast member related. “I had read Through Gates o f Splendor and had always been oriented to­wards missions. But hearing the lines in the letters from the men’s' diaries and seeing the quality of their lives has only made the desire deeper.”

Another actor added, “The thing that stuck out in my mind the most is the commitment they had .to the Lord and the desire they had for

lost souls. It has instilled the desire in me to share the burden and he committed.”

Still another member considered the message of the play and stated, “To see the sacrifice of those men and the result of that sacrifice is a reminder that God does nothing without a purpose, even though sometimes it is hidden from us at first.”

“In looking back and seeing how God used their sacrifice and com­mitment, we can have the con­fidence that if we commit our lives

to that same degree whatever-hap- pens is then in the Lord's hands. We also know that in His sovereignty He is in complete con­trol of every situation and that in His love He wants the very best for us. For the person who truly knows God, commitment and even sac­rifice need hold no fear.”

A final cast member concluded, “1 hope that the audiences who view ‘Bridge’ will not just see it as a ‘nice’ play and forget it when they leave Alford. Rather, 1 hope that they let it touch them, that they

come with a heart and mind open to God’s leading, and. after seeing ‘Bridge,“that they will let the mes­sage penetrate their hearts and in­fluence their lives in a way thai perhaps nothing ever has before. '

“Bridge of Blood" plays tonight through Saturday, beginning at 8 p.m. each evening.

Cast members include: Robin Randolph, Dan Barfell, Joe Osenni, Irene- Farley, Gary S. Cooke, Jill Parks, Tom Wigger- shaus, Julie English, David Clark and Kathy Bachelder.

Forensics team excelsThe Cedarville Forensics team returned last Satur­

day from a productive weekend at Ohio University at Athens. They participated in the 16th annual Inter­state Individual Events Tournament. In the event, the team placed sixth overall and the students Kathy Bachelder and Edd Sturdevant took individual hon-' ors.

Bachelder took third place in the area of Prose In­terpretation with a selection from “The Scarlet Ibis.” Her performance represents four rounds of competi­tion in a category with 62 contestants.

Sturdevant copped honors in three events, includ­ing a 6th place finish in Impromptu Sales which had 39 contestants. Sturdyant also finished second in Ex­temporaneous Speaking with 23 contestants. In Im­promptu Speaking, Sturdevant earned top honors. Impromptu featured 37 competitors.

Cedarville is one of 21 teams in the state of Ohio which sponsors an intercollegiate team in the speech realm.

The Ohio University tournament has a reputation for stiff competition. Lee Ann Thomas, who serves as the OU team Secretary indicated in OU’s student newspaper, The Post, that, “Ohio is a strong place to compete. When a team comes to OU, it knows the tournament won’t be an easy one.”

Thomas further indicated that the OU tournament involved over 200 contestants from 18 colleges and universities. The schools traveled from eight states, from as far away as Eastern Illinois University and Massachusetts Emerson University.

Intercollegiate Forensics competition involves four types of speaking. Interpretive events at the OU tourney included Prose, Poetry, Dramatic Interpand Dramatic Duo. Limited Preparation events included Extemporaneous, which involves speaking on a cur­rent event topic on thirty minutes notice, Impromptu, which involves speaking on a quotation with a one to two minute preparation, and Impromptu Sales, which involves selling a product within the same time re­striction.

The third area is that of prepared speeches which include Informative, Persuasive and Communica­tions Criticism. The final area involves Humorous speaking; at OC, this included After Dinner Speaking .and “Bad Oralization of Literature,” the humorous treatment of prose and poetry.

At theOU tournament, Cedarville’s team included Bachelder and Sturdevant, as well as John Sidle, Paula Moore, Gary Barker and Arlan Palmer.

At the State of Ohio novice tournament held last month at Ohio State University, Sidle received top honors in both Informative and Persuasive speaking. Paula Moore was honored for her performance in In­formative Speaking, and Gary Barker was honored in both Prose and Poety Interp events. Novice competi­tion is for students in their first year of forensics.

The forensics teams, coached by asst, prof of speech David Robey and instructor Deborah Horner, heads next to the University of Toledo for the 1983 Ohio State Championships on Feb. 18-19.

Activities vital to learningby Jeffrey D. Summerlin

One of Cedarville College's goals is to provide a well-balanced program. This includes academic, spiritual growth and extra-curricu­lar involvement. The first two areas are essential to a sound edu­cation and are often a student’s reasons for attending Cedarville.

The third objective, though, is not as easily integrated or incorpo­rated into student curriculum. Ex­cuses such as “J just don't have the time. . .," “They don't like me,” “Maybe next year,” or “That's just not for me” have been echoed through institution's halls for years.

According to the college hand­book, involvement in various facets of collegiate life contributes

Isolation vs. Isolationism’by Edd Sturdevant

Last weekend I had the opportu­nity to visit a large state university. Never has any visit to any institu­tion, Christian or secular, educa­tional or not, gripped me so.

I was besieged with sensory im­pressions of lostness. 1 saw bath­room walls asking for^ discreet homosexual relationships. I saw pornography openly displayed for sale. 1 saw evidences of students making a regular matter of drunkenness. I saw men and women revelling in their lostness, even gloating in it.

These were all things I had seen before.

Suddenly this weekend, these evidences of debauchery im­pressed upon me the lost condition of man more strongly than ever be­fore. Conversely, it impressed upon me the futility of much of what is practiced in contemporary, evangelical Christianity more

strongly than ever before.I have yet to place a finger on

why the impressions of lost man hit me so hard. Perhaps it was the quantity of the sin that I saw. Perhaps it was the intensity of the sin that I saw. Perhaps it was sim­ply the fact that the sin was open and blatant.

However, I do know why the futility of modern evangelicalism impresses me.

Scripture repeatedly ad­monishes us to live in separation , in isolation, from the sinfulness of the world around us. However, it never gives the slightest hint of a • policy of isolationism on the part of the Christian community. Nowhere in Scripture do I find a wisp of an indication that we are not to come in contact with, not to influence, not to affect the lives of the lost that we encounter daily.

The Word of God insists on sep­aration from disobedience on the

part of every Christian, regardless of their social position, their edu­cational status or the longevity of their years. There remains no other option for the believer. This is iso­lation - from sin.

Unfortunately, it is all too easy for us (us - a collective pronoun in­cluding all members of a given class) to live in isolation from lost sinners and not from sin. We have allowed the concept of isolation from sin to decline into a policy of isolationism from lost men.

1 trust that the line 1 have drawn is clear. I find Christians who have chosen to absent themselves from any kind of influence, evangelistic or otherwise, upon the lost men they come in contact with every day. This is evangelistic isolationism. At the same time many retreat into their Christian enclaves, ghettos, if you will; they fall into sin, ending the com- manded.isolation from it.

The Lord Jesus Christ com­manded that we be the salt of the earth. The statement that He made as not you should he the salt of the earth, but you are the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13) . This state-

to “the personal development and also provides outlets from the de­mands and pressures of academic life."

This personal development in­cludes learning to be committed to a goal and accomplishing that goal. It also includes learning how to become more responsible, or­ganized, patient and how to posi­tively influence others' lives.

Participation does provide an outlet from academic pressures. After a full day of classes and studies, having an opportunity to do something else invites a special lift to the end of the day. Trying to decide where, how much and when to get involved should be major de­cisions . The question of “should 1 get involved?” must be replaced with, “How can 1 get involved?”

Some students can handle giv­ing up several hours a day, while others can only give up a small amount of time. Whatever the situ- 'ation, each individual must pin­point his capabilities. When these are discovered he must expand them into new horizons.

The college provides six general spheres in which students can en­gage in activities. The first area is Christian Service, in which are op­portunities to serve in orphanages, nursing homes, rescue missions, Bible clubs and local churches. Each of these can entail only an hour a week, or some can involve spring and summer breaks. For ex­ample, one can sing, visit, partici­pate in services and just be a friend to those in nursing homes, it only takes one hour a week every Sun­day morning.

The second major facet of co- curricular student life is intercol­legiate athletics. One such com­petitive sport is basketball. Each week the varsity and JV squads show their talent on the court. However, the greater percentage of participation comes from the

sports. One can be involved throughout the week each quarter. In co-ed volleyball for example, students learn to play together and take on their competition. In this way students have opportunity to work together with people they might never meet in dorms or classes.

Fourthly, organizations provide an area for student involvement. Kappa Epsilon Alpha, the business club, for example, is presently planning a weekend conference. In coordinating the event, the in­volved members are learning about scheduling speakers, planning a banquet and building a special pro­ject.

Each of these allows students to use and develop leadership abili­ties and provides the school with a service.

Fifthly. Student Senate provides an opening for students to voice the opinion of the student body. Sen­ate includes officers, two represen­tatives of each class, dorm repre­sentatives, off-campus representa­tives and one representative from each organization. Once a mem­ber, a student can join committees, become involved in student af­fairs and learn quality leadership skills.

Finally, the fine arts program of­fers a major area of participation. Brass Choir, Concert Chorale and pep band are among the groups in which students can be involved. Dramatic productions offer other opportunities in the area o f fine arts. Those with musical or drama­tic abilities can especially benefit from the experience and instruc­tion offered here.

Involvement includes intramur­als, student government, fine arts and nursing home service. What­ever the activity, though, it is es­sential to get involved.

Four years go very quickly. A college education can be the rich-

fans, who yell, scream, jump and est, most rewarding time of one's sometimes try to help coach.

The Campus Activities Office provides a third general area of pursuit in collegiate life. One av­enue of participation is intramural

life if it includes a balance of academics, spiritual growth and extra-curricular activities. No one should graduate with only remem­brances of page after page of books.

Indignation spurs abortion mini-forumIn Journal o f Christian Recon­

struction, Bernard Nathanson; MD, makes the following state­ment: “In the period since the Su­preme Court decision abortion has become the most commonly per­formed surgical procedure on adults in the United States...."

Elsewhere the Journal says that in 1980 there were 1,238,987 legal abortions or 358 abortions for every 1000 births. This represents a 5700% increase over the last ten years. In the past decade an abor­tion revolution has taken place.

Statistics like these have planted the “seeds of indignation” result­ing in the 1983 Timalathians/Stu- dent Senate Mini-forum entitled. “Abortion: The Christian Re­sponse." The mini-forum is a joint effort of Timalathians, a campus organization committed to the Biblical pursuit of truth, and Stu­dent Senate, which provided the necessary funds for the four-day endeavor. •

The key figure in the organiza­tion and planning of the mini­forum has been Timalathians Pres­ident, Jonathan Selden. Selden, with the help of Dee Patty, a former Cedarville student, has brought together what they believe is an impressive line-up of speak­ers and informative films de­signed to give greater knowledge to the student body concerning the abortion issues.

Selden. explaining the reasons for choosing the topic of abortion, comments “The abortion issue is one of immense gravity. America will be brought into judgment for its blatant approval of this mass murder. What is needed is im­mediate Christian action. But the first step in action is knowledge. A lack of knowledge will inevitably lead to a lack of response."

With this conviction Selden moved rapidly in organizng a week of sessions to be led by James Bid­dle (Chmn., Dept, of Education), Bridget! Brewster (President, Right to Life. Kokomo, Ind.), James Butcher (Indiana State Sen­ator) and Donald Linblad (Pastor, Kemp Road Baptist Church, Day- ton, Ohio).

Biddle wili expose the

philosophical underpinnings of abortion; Mrs. Brewster is sched­uled to address the area of the med­ical and ethical issues of abortion; Senator Butcher plans to focus on the legal and legislative issues of abortion, and Lindblad will con­clude the mini-forum speaking concerning the Christian response to abortion.

Four films will be shown during the course of the mini-forum. Two of these are “Abortion of the Human Race” and “The Basis for Human Dignity” featuring Francis Schaeffer.

Selden pointed out that abortion -clinics currently operate in both Columbus and Cincinnati, thus making the Springfield-Xenia re­gion a prime target area for the fu­ture establishment of such a clinic.

Selden emphatically stated: "Christians must begin to work now in order to keep such a clinic from ever coming into existence." -He went on to voice his goal of be­ginning a Right to Life Chapter on the campus of Cedarville College.

Says Selden, "Timalathians is con­vinced that truth demands action. We are not an ivory-tower debate society. Our goal is to instill in so­ciety the truth that abortion is im­m oral,-a breach against God's soverign law.”

Summing up the current philosophical situation in which the abortion issue is so deeply rooted, Randy Thornburg, coordi­nator of Timalathians Bibfe studies, made the following obser­vations: “Modern man tells us that truth cannot be contained in a set of 'archaic' religious dogmatisms to which only the naive would give assent. Modern man wants no part in a truth which he cannot change to accommodate the exigencies of the moment.

“He is wonderfully open- minded, scorning all dogma in order to gluttonize himself in the veritable ethical smorgasbord of contemporary society. When con­fronted with a propssitional moral imperative such as ‘thou shalt not

kill,' he will actively do all he can to assert his own autonomy and set himself up as-his own god in his own universe. He never finds truth because he never seeks truth.”

Thornburg continues, “What a stark contrast this is to the \vorld of grace in which God’s people dwell. The Lord Jesus Christ has told us that .God’s Word is truth (John 17 :17) and that He Himself is truth (John 14:6). Paul tells us that the church is the pillar and ground of the truth (I Timothy 3:15). The church is to declare the truth, uphold the truth and bear tes­timony to the abiding validity of all of God’s Word.

"The function of the redeemed as salt and light to the world is inex­tricably bound up with the estab­lishment of God’s law as the nor­mative standard of ethical activity, not only for the church itself, but for society as well (Matthew 5 :13- 19). If Christ's words are to be taken seriously, then the implica­

tions are quite apparent. It is either God’s law or chaos.”

The seven-session Timala- thians/Student Senate Mini- Forum, “Abortion: A Christian re­sponse," will be held Feb. 21-24. Three of the sessions will utilize the morning chapel hour with the remaining four sessions taking place in afternoon and evening time slots. Selden remarked that Paul Dixon was extremely helpful in making arrangement for the guest speakers to appear during the

-chapel hour. “This was done be­cause Dr. Dixon was so impressed by the importance and urgency of the issue,” said Selden.

The goal of the week long mini­forum, as expressed by Selden in behalf of Timalathians, is for radi­cal student involvement in the fight against this unseen holocaust. Sel­den pointedly concluded, “The legal decision of 1973 must be turned around if we are to stop the murder. We must act now."

SC-TV slates new programmingThe decision to switch from a

first-come open viewing format to pre-established programming on the Student Center TV was made by the Student Center facilities staff.

According to a memo from the Campus Activities Office, the pur­pose for programming the televis­ion “is to assure that it will aid in fulfilling' the objectives of the stu­dent center by providing cultural, social, educational and recrea­tional activity which is consistent with college educational and spiritual objectives.”

Senior Todd Peterson, in charge of personnel for the Student Cen­ter, has the responsibility for selecting a viewing schedule; Myron Youngman. Dir. of Cam­pus Activities maintains final ap­proval. Peterson aims for a balance in programming selection, even when what is chosen may not re­flect the choice of the majority of viewers.

This moves the SC-TV away from a constant "sports and detec­

tive show” format. Another factor, Youngmamstated. was that there seemed to have been a problem with the same group of people sit­ting in front of the television for three or four hours every night. Scheduled programming tends to alleviate this problem.

Another advantage of pre­selecting programs is that it gives faculty members the chance to en­courage their students to view a program associated with a class or major.

Presently the SC-TV program­ming is only on a trial basis. Stu­dent reaction is being evaluated to determine the effectiveness of programming.

Peterson would like to see the* pre-selected programming concept continued because he believes it adds to the complete use of the Student Center. While not yet wanting to be locked into a struc­tured format Youngman stated, "I'm not completely satisfied, but I think it's a move in the right direction."

Six foot television is one piece of equipment available at the Gavelyte deli.

The Senate Food Service Comm, keeps busy throughout the year trying to meet the demands of Pioneer Food Service and Cedar­ville College students. They meet once every other week to discuss complaints, suggestions and com­pliments concerning the cafeteria food and service.

Committee Chmn. Jeff Sum­merlin summarized the goals of the Food Service Comm. Their first goal, he explained, is to strive to make the cafeteria run as smoothly as possible. They also help to in­form the students and Pioneer of suggestions for improvement in the cafeteria.

The committee meets with Chuck McKinney, Food Service Mgr., to keep him informed of new ideas. The committee endeavors to

create monotony Dreaxers" fortfie food service by planning the spe­cials such as lumberjack night and international food night. This quarterlhere will be a special enti­tled "Faces”; details remain "clas­sified.”

As committee chairman, Sum­merlin fulfills a role as Senate ad­ministrative officer and meets weekly with other student body of­ficers to coordinate ideas.

The committee is made up of Student Senate representatives and two students who are not in the Student Senate. They include Ginger Blasdell. Robin Campbell. Bill Cronin. Donna Faust. Susan Fields.

Placement Center aims to locate student jobsAs June approaches, many stu­

dents are confronted with ques­tions pertaining to employment. To assist in answering these in­quiries, Cedarville College has made the Placement Center avail­able to students. It serves as a divi­sion of the Student Personnel Of­fice under Donald Rickard, V.P. of Student Services.

As a service to students, David Gaffner, Dir. of Placement, helps students in finding "'employment off-campus, whether it be part- time work, a summer job or a ca­reer. Gaffner conducts various workshops to better prepare stu­dents looking for employment in­cluding resume writing, interview­ing skills, effective job searching and job offer evaluation, bringing salary, budget needs and the Lord’s will into consideration.

The center maintains a library containing files, on companies, re­ference books, places of employ­ment and, for those seeking to further their education before working, graduate school informa­tion.

According to Gaffner, the Placement Center also makes con­tacts with companies and employ­ers to set up prospective interviews for students.

At the urging of Rickard and Martin Clark, Dir. of Counseling Services a committee was formed in the latter part of 1978 out of the President’s Associates with the purpose of creating a placement- center. The trustees gave the final okay to set up the program and budget.

Prior to this time, individual de­partments were in charge of assist­ing their students’ placement ef­forts.

Gaffner became director in Sep­tember, 1981, and has many goals for the center's future.

The main goal he expressed was that of student involvement in using the placement library and contacts. Gaffner stated that there needs to be some thought put into curriculum and career objectives before April or May of the senior year. The key is to make an early,, effective job search instead of waiting until.the last possible mo­ment.

Gaffner encourages students to organize and bring together some kind of career objective. Accord­ing to Gaffner, a common fallacy is that the center is just for business students; it is not. All departments are included and encouraged to take advantage of the _ service Of­fered.

Other goals include continuing to grow and becoming better known on campus. Many students simply are not aware of the func­tions of the Placement Center or how to use it to bring career objec­tives into focus and to seek em­ployment.

Last fall the first annual Career Day sponsored by the center, brought many different companies and employers onto campus to share with those interested. There was an excellent response from those employers who came. Gaff­

ner stated that getting employers on the campus, even if only for a visit, is a positive step toward re­

cruitment.

Gaffner stated that employers

have been impressed with the calibre of of student appearance and action on campus, and that stu­dents and their actions are a reflec­tion upon the school’s standards. He was happy to add that so far the impressions have been very posi­tive.

Gaffner related that it is a defin­ite challenge to operate a place­ment service during a recession when companies are cutting back. He added that even though there is a tight job market, students need to be persistent and keep at it.

Representing a small liberal arts school also presents problems in setting up of recruitment dates. Gaffner reported, “We're not a well-known school. Many don’t know we exist.” “Whereas Cedar­ville College?” is a common ques­tion. However, after the contact sessions are completed, there is generally a positive reaction to the school's programs and curriculum.

One recruiter on campus men­tioned perhaps our students should be more assertive, but Gaffner is reluctant to agree. He believes that competence and confidence are valuable, but assertiveness is not always a positive characteristic.

The Placement Center is staffed by Gaffner and Sharon Mackey. Mrs. Mackey is in charge of all correspondence, typing, filing, ap­pointments and recordkeeping as well as assisting Gaffner in other functions of the center.

As director, Gaffner oversees the center and is often on the road making contacts and inviting em­ployers to campus. Gaffner views getting off campus and interacting with different employers as a bonus for his position. He stated that it gives him a good opportu­nity to witness for the Lord.

The director counsels and re­views cover letters and resumes for students. Working closely with Hugh Hall, Dir. of Church Rela­tions, the center also sends re­sumes for those interested in the pastorate. The center is not only available to present students at Cedarville, but serves graduates as well.

Gaffner is interested in any names of possible contacts of people in position to hire.

Coming workshops include “Doing and Effective Job Search” on March 2 and “Evaluating a Job Offer” on March 3.

Series on computers continues

Computers invade college campusesCPS-As Colleges rush into the

computer age, they are meeting some perplexing new-age problems of student security and crime.

Huge electronic erasures of stu­dent and faculty records have plagued some campuses, while others struggle with ways of keep­ing teacher-student relationships confidential.

At UCLA, for instance, two 17- yeai^olds broke into the univer­sity’s files and erased thousands of student transcripts and instructors’ files stored there.

Similarly, Lehigh Universtiy students were “cheated and rob­bed” of coursework stored in the Pennsylvania campus’s main com­puter when someone tampered with the machine last year. Stu­dents and instructors subsequently wasted “hundreds of hours putting the files back,” recalled Bob Wechsler, computing center direc­tor.

’“Right now, we still depend

mainly on words printed on paper to store and transmit information,” observes Doug Van Howeling, V.P. for computing and planning at Camegie-Mellon University. “But the computer is providing us with a totally new way of handling this information, and naturally with totally new problems in doing3 0 .”

One new problem is keeping pu- blically-available files private.- Last term, for example, Harvard students tried to convince adminis­trators to regulate access to their electronically-stored study mate­rials. The university allows student tutors to see academic files of their

charges.While the tutors may have legiti­

mate reasons for looking at certain files, the students.argue their pri­vacy rights have become precari­ous if the tutors should misuse them.

Such information is never totally safe, observers warn.

Guarding the information “is a human problem, not something caused by the computer itself,” notes Apple , Computers spokes­man Stan De Vaughn.

“For every security system, there’s going to be someone work­ing on a way to get around it. All students can do is save everything they do on their own discs and be very carefui who they give their passwords to.”

Privacy, however, “cannot be taken lightly,” adds IBM spokes­man Bruce Schimming. “Univer­sities are particularly sensitive to privacy and the concept of being passively observed and watched by some Big Brother-type system.”

“But,” he continues, “it’s the students who have the ability to control the system, and L don’t think many of them will be over­come by it.”

“Sure, it’s possible to get into someone else’s file,” says John Sutton, an Iowa State junior who regularly submits his work elec­tronically to his instructors. “But it’s just as possible for someone to break into my dorm room and steal everything.”

Despite the- real concerns over security and the dramatic cases of large-scale electronic erasures, most student problems so far seem to concern getting either too much or too little of the new technology.

The editor of Toronto’ s Erindale College student paper got too much, almost losing his job for re­fusing to produce the paper on the school’s new computer system.

After arguing the system was not good or reliable enough to do the job, the editor finally got to keep his job, though not before being docked $60 to make up the cost of producing the paper the old way.

More typically, student are most upset about getting too little of the technology. Lines at campus com­puters are often long. At Idaho State, "it’s not unusual to have kids lined up three-deep to use a com­puter," says computer director Robert Watts.

At the State University of New York-Albany. 1500 students petitioned against administrators' spring, 1982.decision to cut back student hours at the computer cen­ter. Administrators explained they had to ban students during certain hours so administrators themselves would have time to use the machines.

Music major opts for medical service

Rick Dustin

Some Cedarville students ex­perience difficulty in choosing a major. They enter college unde­clared and remain in this state of limbo until, with friends, coun­selors and parents in a screaming panic, they randomly choose a field in which they feel remotely interested. They proceed to change that major two or three times. Then, they finally graduate some four to six years later with a faint assurance of the occupation they wish to pursue.

Twenty-two year old senior Rick Dustin does not fit into the category of the major-hopper. Dustin, who is a music education major with a proficiency in trum­pet performance, explained his deep love for music, relating, “For me, living without music would be like living without air. I never ever thought about going into anything else.”

When considering a field of study, then, Dustin felt it only natu­ral to pursue a music major. Dustin remembers that after some persua­sion from his parents, he agreed to spend at least his freshman year at a Christian college. Although ad­mittedly he "pulled a name out of a hat” when choosing Cedarville, the choice to him seemed con­firmed when he heard Charles Pag- nard playing the trumpet during college week his freshman year. Reflecting on that event he recall­ed. “It was like God’s seal of as­surance, / knew this is where I should be for the first year any­way.”

In the light of Dustin’s assur­ance regarding his musical pur­suits, one might understandably wonder why he speaks of going into emergency medicine after graduation. Presently a member of

Health Service will sponsor their fourth series of CPR (Car­diopulmonary resuscitation) courses Feb. 2 1,22 and 24. Health Service noted that over 100,000 deaths a year could be prevented if people were versed in cardiopul­monary resuscitation; therefore, all students and staff members are encouraged to attend these ses­sions.

Not only will CPR be taught, but also the Heimlich maneuver, mouth-to-mouth and one-and two- man CPR for adults. Infant lifesav­ing techniques, such as choking rescue, mouth-to-mouth and CPR will also be taught.

The session, open to anyone, not only includes lectures, but films, practice sessions, practical demonstration and a written test.

The classes are free with the ex­ception of the text’s $3.25 cost. Monday night’s class will run from 7-8 p.m. and the two remaining sessions will run from 6:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m.

Health Service nurses Penny Saunders, Brenda Boiey, and

the Cedarville College Emergency Medical Service, Dustin retells an event which he believes changed him and sparked his interest and love for emergency medicine.

Dec. 26, 1979, Dustin remem­bers, he went skiing in his home state of New York. On this particu­lar afternoon he took a crushing 15 to twenty foot fall over a mogul, severely damaging his shoulder. That accident, he believes, caused him to realize a truth: “People get hurt all over the place," he began.

“Everytime somebody gets hurt everybody stands around and wishes someone knew what to do. That’s when I decided (after the ac­cident) that I could either live with the fact that that’s how things are going to be or I could do something about it.” After this incident, Dus­tin in his junior year, took the

classes offered by Green Memorial Hospital in Xenia. Upon comple­tion of the course he gained the status of Emergency Medical Technician.

"The more I got in it, the more I fell in love with it,” Dustin

ment refutes the concept of isolationism on two fronts. First, salt is a preservative. Helmut Thielicke of the University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany, stated, “Our western world has be­come a world of decay and rotten­ness because that salt is lacking.” We are charged with preserving society. As long as we remain in our ghettos, in our cocoons, in our “salt shakers” we can not preserve society.

Thielicke also states, “Salt bites, and the unadulterated mes­sage of judgment of the grace of God has always been a biting thing - so much so that men have re­

exclaimed. “I like interacting with people and helping them. And, the most appropriate time to help someone is when they can't help themselves.”

Defending his position, Dustin stated, “I didn't really change my interests. I just incorporated other areas.” He further explained, “I’ll go into emergency medicine; how­ever, it may only be part-time, maybe volunteer.”

Dustin strongly refutes the state­ment that he is wasting his time ob­taining a major he may not use. “For one thing, I may need it.” More importantly, Dustin related that he wanted to finish the major he started. “If I don’t get it. it would have always been hanging over my head. I would have always wondered, ‘Could I have gotten it?’.”

Furthermore, Dustin lists gifts of priceless value that the Lord has bestowed through his experience at Cedarville. Dustin confessed, "I don’t know where my life would be if I hadn’t have come to Cedar­ville. I also met a beautiful girl who will be my wife soon. Maybe I wouldn’t have met her otherwise.”

volted against it and even bitten back at it.”

My dear colleagues, we can not bite the sin of the world, so replete around us, if we adopt a policy of isolationism. Thielicke em­phasizes that the Christian who re­mains in his salt cellar does two things. He loses his saltiness and he disobeys the word of the Holy God.

We have the lostness of a human race surrounding us. We have two options before us. The first, being chosen by far too many is to retreat as isolationists, remaining in the security of a “safe” community, while having the gaul to criticize

He continued, "Some of my closest friends are here. Also, I may have never gotten involved with emergency medicine. I would have never gotten a degree. You can’t put a price on things like that, not even after five years.”

Through his experience on the CCEMS, Dustin cites some con­cepts that he realized and holds es­sential when practicing emergency medicine. “You have to be sacrifi­cial with your time; you can’t con­trol when people get sick,” he stated.

“Also, you have to be cool, level-headed, and just do your best. That’s all anyone can ask.” He then affirmed, “Most impor­tantly, I think, you have to have a love for people. If you don't love people, get out, period!”

He listed equality of people (not a respector of persons) and learn­ing to work with people as addi­tional lessons he learned.

He ended by drawing an anal­ogy. “Christ is the Great Physi­cian. And look at how many times people help other people in the Bible. Christianity and caring for others—the two go hand in hand.”

other Christians for petty things left to individual choice by God’s Word. In that ghetto, Christians stagnate in disobedience by not re­sponding to the degradation that abounds around us.

Last weekend l saw men and women lost, nearly crying out to be stung by the salt of the gospel. I pray that I will have the courage to end my isolationism, choose this second option and with determina­tion attack the challenge before me.

In my prayer I include my hope that God will send others to joinme.

Striving to meet spiritual and personal needs of students, Harold Green, V.P. of Christian-Services, is pastor of the Fellowship on cam­pus.

lege as an educational institution. The group consists of Dave Carr, Chmn., Kirk Keller, Jon Stoner, Dave Averill, Bobby Shomo, Dave Black and Dave Jones.

According to Green, the Advis­ory Seven is specifically con­cerned with those who attend the Fellowship. However, since there is such a flexibility in regular atten­dee , the Advisory Seven includes the student body in its ministries.

They primarily seek to offer the students a place to worship while they are away from home. The seven men are in charge of arrang­ing speakers (most often students) for the Sunday School classes and for services, with Green usually speaking on Sunday mornings.

Currently, they have scheduled Edward Spencer for a three-week series'during Sunday evening ser­vices. As it ministers lo students.

trying to improve attitudes held by those attending Fellowship.

The board desires to see a proper spirit of worship as the students enter the meetings, but believe many seem to equate the services with daily chapel. This attitude may result in a lack of interest or participation in worship. Green states that, although Fellowship is not a local church which offers baptism, membership and com­munion, the Seven regards it as a sanctuary conducive to spiritual growth and worship of God.

Secondly, the Advisory Seven_ desires to meet the individual need of Cedarville students by showing interest and by praying for specific problems. One way the men do this is by sending notes and cards.

Another method is the prayer chain. Carr, as chairman, receives requests from students, faculty and staff and passes them on to the others who have specific student contacts. As the request is relayed, it is taken to God by the participat­ing students. By these means the Advisory Seven does its best to re­plicate the compassion ministry ot a local church.

As it organizes the Fellowship services, the Advisory Seven is in charge of soilg-leading, announce­ments and offerings. It also deter­mines the appropriation of monies given by students for God's work, often using it for specific needs brought to their attention.

Another responsibility each member has is that of speaking in services. Members are required to-

be at' 70% of all Fellowship ser­vices.

Shomo stated that many stu­dents believe the Advisory Seven is also responsible for disciplinafy action. The group, he said, has nothing lo do with problems of this nature.

The board meets each Wednes­day at 7 ,a.m. Any interested stu­dent may attend these meetings. During this time prayer needs and means of service are shared.

As most of these men are pre­seminary or Bible comprehensive majors, Shomo believes that the experience of participating in the Seven may be especially practical. He stated that there is a “reward of vital experience in working to­gether under a pastor"

More immediate rewards in­clude, according to Shomo. “see­ing spiritual progress and blessing in the lives of individuals." Green has enjoyed seeing the growth in the lives of the seven men working under him he commented. He has seen many previous members of the group go into the ministry and

mentioned specifically three front the original Advisory board who are now pastors in Ohio.

Green has been at Cedarville leading the Fellowship since 1970. When he first came, the Student Personnel Office gave him a cross­representation of the student body in a group of 12 advisors who helped him structure the Fe-llow- ship. This Advisory Twelve con­sisted of each class chaplain, the student body chaplain and two more students from each class.

Three years ago the group was limited to seven members because twelve proved too many. The members are now nominated by the student body, screened by the active Advisory Seven and then elected by the student body. Their terms run from spring quarter through the following winter quar­ter.

Besides being reduced in si/.e. the group has changed its amount of service. Green explained. The members have developed a greater participation: “they are far more active and more visible." he stated.

Pope changes Catholic law

During the last week of January the Roman Catholic Church pub- 1 ished a revised code of canon faw. Designed to reflect the reforms of Vatican Council II, the statements of the canon are the result of nearly twenty years of intensive work by Vatican lawyers and theologians.

The new legal code envisions the Roman Catholic Church as a community of believers with rights and obligations within their church. The canon discourages the traditional view of Romanism as a hierarchical system executively governed solely by the Pope.

As a result of the new interpreta­tions of Catholic doctrine, the laity is given much greater opportunity to serve within the church. Lay ministers may now handle all but a few sacramental functions which previously were the sole responsi­bility of the clergy. Women now have almost equal status with men in the Church as a result of the canon. Women are now granted the right to serve as business mana­gers, judges on diocesan courts and lay ministers. Newsweek quoted Rev. James Provost,.exec­utive coordinator of the Canon

Law Society of America: "The new code is a compromise docu­ment, but running throughout its 1.752 canons you'll find a whole new way of thinking about the church as a bonding of the faithful, not as a spiritualized civil govern­ment."

Though the revised canon falls short of the expectations of liberal Catholics, it does establish in writ­ing for the first time several impor­tant tenets of the Catholic Church. The rights of Catholics to the sac­raments, to a fair hearing by church officials and to an educa­tion in the faith are each faithfully stated in the new canon. Conserva­tive Catholics should be interested to note legal changes which seem to indicate a return to centralized power in Rome.

The far-reaching results of the new canon can only be speculated upon, but the willingness of the Roman Catholic Church to com­promise and to reform certain prac­tices which have attracted the criti­cism of being out of step with the times, provides an interesting per­spective on modern Catholic ideol­ogy.

G W U ups tuition for im age sCPS-Georee Washington Uni- their educations than do students at state is collecting less tax money later in the.year.CPS-George Washington Uni­

versity may soon raise its tuition not to raise more money, but to en­hance its reputation.

GW consultant Howard Hol­comb recommended that "without apology" the university should charge "much higher tuition” based not on the university's need for money "but on the quality of education" at GW.

GW is currently enjoying "good financial standing." a campus spokeswoman says.

But higher tuition, Holcomb said in his report, would heljr erase the school's "image problem." GW President Lloyd Elliott hired Holcomb last spring to examine GW's "internal and external image.” Holcomb concluded in his study that, in the words of spokes­woman Jane Lingo, GW "was worth more than the tuition we were charging.”

Despite being at a "ranking world university," Holcomb wrote. GW students tend to dispar­age the school.

Holcomb attributed student grumbling to GW being "a non- rural campus, the lack of a football team and the fact that many stu­dents had as their first choice one of the Ivy League schools. The stu­dents, "he added, "tend to be cyni­cal."

Lingo suspects GW students re­ally don't complain more about

other schools, but the carping does hurt the image of a university struggling to establish its reputa­tion as one of the best in the coun­try.

GW is priced below other pri­vate schools in Washington, but above private colleges nationally.

Full-time GW undergrads are paying $4900 in tuition this year, compared to $5750 at Catholic University, $6200 at American University and $6830 at George­town, Lingo reports. Average tuition at four-year private colleges nationwide is $4021, according to arecent College Board study.

Students at most schools, public and private, are being asked to pay more for less obscure reasons. De­creased federal and state higher education funding forced at least a dozen schools into emergency mid-year tuition hikes, last De­cember to meet institutional bills, a College Press Service survey of February. 1982 found.

Administrators blame declining state revenues most often for pre­senting them with a choice of either cutting services or raising tuition.

A recent Education Commission of the States survey discovered ad­ministrators expect state funding to continue to lag behind inflation at least through 1985.

Georgia colleges, noting that the

than it expected, last week agreed not to spend $14 million of their budgets until the recessions's im­pact on the state becomes clearer

The result of such fiscal uncer­tainties, summarizes. Penn State budget director Loren Furtado, is that "the burden for paying for

higher education over the last ten years has fallen disproportionately on the students and their families."

Intramurals more than competitionSki trips, aerobics, basketball,

volleyball, softball, the class clash,..... And the list goes on. Last year offering nearly forty events, the Recreational/Intramural divi­sion of the Campus Activities Dept, strives to provide a variety of activities which will meet the needs of every student, according to the program’s director, Mark McDougal.

Myron Youngman, Dir. of Campus Activities, explained that the Recreational/Intramural sec­tion of his department fulfdls part of the office’s purpose to provide “a program of cultural, social, edu­cational and recreational ac­tivities.” The program has ex­panded considerably in the past three years since it became a part of his department, Youngman con­

tinued. Intramurals previously were handled part-time by Dick Walker, Dean of Men, while now it is directed by one full-time and two part-time staff members.

Development has occured in staff, participants and programs. Presently McDougal works full­time in this area with two assis­tants, Byron Clemens and Ann Berger. McDougal explained that Clemens primarily helps with scheduling, while Miss Berger as­sists by attending to most of the clerical duties. McDougal reported that he is involved, as well, in scheduling events and obtaining officials for competitive events.

Also aiding in the program this quarter are Kent Simpson, who acts as statistician for the men’s basketball program, and Jim

1 “I’m trying more and more to put a student in the area of liaison,” McDougal remarked, adding later that he often gets student feedback through them.

Participation totals, McDougal explained, are very difficult to compile, since some individuals are involved in more than one event and get counted two or three times. Last year’s single activity generating the most interest, how­ever, was the co-ed volleyball tournament.

McDougal found that this was the event which caused the most chatter around campus. “Because it was co-ed, it was a good social activity,” He explained.

Other fall quarter events which included ■ large groups were a hayride with 172 attendants, flag football with 168 players and women’s volleyball with 153 par­ticipants. Men’s basketball in­volved the greatest number last winter quarter with 180 men par­ticipating in the B-league and 100 in the A-league.

In the spring 260 played softball on men’s teams, 104 played on women’s teams, and 180 played on co-ed teams.

Officials constitute yet another group of participants. These indi­viduals receive $2 per game of­ficiated unless licensed by the state in which case they earn $2.50.

“Anyone who Has an interest can probably be involved,” McDougal commented, continuing that they are working on giving officials more identity as a group within the entire program. Some intramural

referees and umpires, he added, continue to use this acquired knowledge and experience later to officiate junior nigh or high schoolgames.

The low payment for refereeing is “one drawback of officiating here.” McDougal stated, however, their present budget does not allow larger expenditiures in this area.

As suggested by the hayride, however, Recreational/Intramur- als includes more than competitive sports.

This quarter’s class clash, as well as the new aerobics classes, was organized by this division of Campus Activities.

Aerobics, McDougal noted, “started off with a bigger bang than we ever expected.” This was also an effort to help balance the oppor­tunities for. women’s involvement with that of the men, although men may attend these classes, he in­cluded.

Other program additions include a C-league in men’s basketball for those interested in playing on a less competitive basis, a handball clinic, a mixed doubles indoor ten­nis tournament, officiatingclinics......And again the list goeson.

One of McDougal’s goals for fu­ture programs is to offer more indi­vidual activities. Aerobics is one example since consistent atten­dance is not required. Scheduled open running time is another.

While on one hand hoping to continue to add new programs, McDougal also wants to improve and solidify present activities. Communication exhibits one area about which Youngman and

Tim Bell gains control in a losing effort against Urbana

McDougal noted efforts to im­prove tn response to students com­menting that they didn’t know when their games were scheduled.

Other student input, McDougal related, refers primarily to particu­lar events. He receives comments when an event is especially good or when officiating in a particular game didn't appear satisfactory.

General reaction is gathered through surveys completed by stu­dents. One survey taken last spring, for instance, asked stu­dents to select activities in which they were most interestd. Gen­erating the most response on this were canoeing, horseback riding, sailing and swimming.

While all activities students desire cannot be planned, McDougal encourages students to take advantage of a file of local re­creational facilities in the office. “If we don’t have the information, we’ll get it for them,” he re: marked.

Youngman estimated that the entire program, including full-time and part-time salaries, costs $18,000-20,000. This money in part comes from the Student Ser­vices fee. Officiating and awards claim the largest expenses from the budget after salaries, according to McDougal.

“Equipment is surprisingly low,” McDougal asserted, explaining that they have a good relationship with the Athletic Dept, in this area and that their equipment is well taken care of.

“We’re trying to squeeze in as much as possible,” McDougal concluded, emphasizing his de­sire that everyone can get in­volved in some activity

Baseball team to warm during Florida outing

While most of us will be going home over spring break, the baseball team will be heading to sunny Florida. First year head coach Mark Matthews and his crew will arrive in Florida on Sat..March 12. The team has a schedule of six games over the next nine days, playing in Clearwater,Ocala, and Jacksonville. They will leave Florida on March 21.

Coach Matthews is looking for­ward to spring training, for the team will be able to perform under regular game situations. Also,Matthews hopes to work on game philosophy, using more hit and run, bunts and squeeze plays.This is something that the team is unable to do in the gym.

Baseball conditioning began shortly after Christmas break. The fundamentals of the game were

Cedarville dropped a 79-70 de­cision to Tiffin Saturday night, their third loss in a row. With this win Tiffin stands at 6-3 in the MOC, while Cedarville drops to 4- 5 in conference play. David Carr was high scorer for the Yellow Jac­kets with 20 points, followed by John Srnis at 18. The majority of Tiffin's points were scored by El­more Jackson and Frank Carto with 32 and 22 points respectively.

Tiffin jumped out to an early 7-0 lead before Cedarville could get their first bucket to fall, through what seemed to be tight rims. Later on in the game, a David Can- jumper tied it up, 20 all with 9:37 left in the first half. Srnis then put the Jackets up 22-20, but Tiffin re­gained the lead and held it for the remainder of the first half.

emphasized as well as individual drills for positions, as well as hit­ting and throwing skills. The entire infield is back from last year, mak­

ing for a strong defense. Most of the outfield positions, however, are still “up for grabs” at this time.

Matthews is a 1982 Alumnus.

GWU tuition continuedTwo weeks ago, for example, the Minnesota Higher Education Co­ordinating Board proposed to make all state college students—re­gardless of their ability to pay-pay half their education costs to qualify for any financial aid from the state.

The measure is one of a legion of somewhat exotic new tuition pro­posals aimed to help colleges pay their bills while keeping college within students’ financial reach.

To raise cash, Marquejte now allows students to pay for more

/'than one year at a vtime, but exempting them from any tuition increases, Hope College lets stu­dents pay off tuition monthly. Still other schools are selling short-term tuition insurance policies to be cashed in as fees come due.

However, payments are sched­uled, few schools have been able tp avoid raising their fees. Northern Michigan students are paying 12%. more this year. In Wisconsin, tui­tion is up 15%. City University of New York campuses raised tuition 16% this fall to compensate for an $18 million shortfall in state funds.

Southern Methodist’s is up a full 20.7% over last year. Maryland has already approved a 9% hike for 1983.

Students protest sometimes. 'Claiming Pennsylvania was "punishing working class stu­dents” with a $230 tuition hike, the Commonwealth Association of Students sued to stop the increase. A judge ruled against the students in early September.

Last spring. University of Puerto Rico students shut down their university for four months in

protest of a tuition hike.Closer to George Washington,

3100 American University stu­dents demonstrated last February over this year’s tuition hike.

GW student reaction to the pro­posed cosmetic hike has been loud but rhetorical, according to Lingo. “Students have shown a lot of in­terest in it. I think they realize sometimes it’s good to take stock of where you are.”

The. GW Board of Trustees will discuss the proposal later this month.

Kirk Fairhurst eves a shot.Shortly before half, the lights

went out for Cedarville, literally, evidently, a bank of lights went out. At the end of the half, Cedar­ville was down 42-36 and Tim Danube had picked up three early fouls. With Tim Pryor out due to an ankle injury and Danube in foul trouble, the Jackets lacked some of the stfength to which they are ac­customed.

The second half seesawed throughout. With 6:22 to go in the game, John Srnis when he was fouled after the shot converted a one and one to complete a four point play, putting Cedarville up 61-58. However, Tiffin quickly went ahead to stay, outscoring the Jackets by a large margin in the, final moments of the game.

The Jackets broke their three game losing streak with an exciting 67-64 win over the Urbana Blue Knights on Tuesday night. Al­though the visitors outrebounded the home team by ten in the first half/ the Jackets still pulled out to

game’s pae6. When he came out for a rest in the first half, the Jac­kets 11 point lead began to di­minish. Each time he returned to

•the court, the team picked up.Until the final two minutes of

play, the second half looked much like the first. As the fans’ excite­ment increased, the Cedarville team intensified efforts with Ur­bana falling under the pressure.

Climactically, late in the saecond half, John Modderman gave the team needed momentum and the lead. Overall, however, shooting from the line lacked as the Blue and Gold hit only twenty of 31 attempts. Urbana hit ten of their 16 free throws.

The bench proved valuable with Tim Pryor still out of,the line-up, hoping to return to the court for Saturday’s game at Mt. Vernon.

Tim Danube topped the scoring chart with 19 points. Carr folowed with 15, while John Srnis contrib­uted 12. Modderman hit nine, Tom Greve threw in eight, and Kirk Fairhurst scored four.

This victory leave the team at 5- 5 in the Mid-Ohio Conference. Their loss dropped Urbana to 2-8. With four regular season games re­maining on the schedule, the Jac­kets move on with a 14-10 overall record.

Jim Davis visited Washington. D.C., earlier this month to take part in the taping of Smithsonian Discovery Theatre and to present to the Smithso­nian the first Garfield Sunday page original artwork dated June 25. 1978. Garfield is distributed to more than 1,300 newspapers worldwide by United Feature Syndicate.

Seen here on the set of Smithsonian Discovery Theatre are Jim Davis, host Michael Young and James R. Morris. Jr., director, Division of Performing Arts, Smithsonian Institution. Morris accepted the artwork on behalf of the Smithsonian.

by one of the company who gave the history of the piece and pre­pared the audience for what it was about to hear.

Performing selections form “Merry Wives of Windsor,” "Rigoletto,” “The Crucible” and "Die Fledermaus” during the first half of the program, the company exhibited a pleasant balance. The Ensemble took us from scene to scene with only minor changes in costume and props but created major changes in the moods pre­sented.

“The Crucible” was an excellent example of how effective opera can be. The plot line of Robert Ward’s novel is well-known, but in the musical setting-the characters “came alive," leaving a long-last­ing impression.

Once again with only a few cos­tume and scene changes, the six- member cast transported us to Naples, Italy, where "Cosi Fan Tutte" took place. The cutting demonstrated the superb vocal quality of the company both indL vidually and collectively.

Although some of the selections presented philosophical difficul­ties for the Christian, such as the song "It will be a little naughty but we will have a lot of fun," we can recognize the context as a philoso­phy of the day. We must reject the thought, but can appreciate the art

It's always right around mid­terms, when one student says to another, "I have a chemistry exam tomorrow, -and I haven't even begun studying/ and, without a break in thought, the other says, "1 wonder how long it took that cockroach to die'in that taco.”

This quarter’s low spot is not re­ally more severe; we just take longer to. recover from it. The period that seems like a chuckhole in other seasons appears to be a dark, slimy pit right now, and if we looked hard enough, we could al­most see rats scurrying around our feet.

Perhaps because I've been mak­ing such a constant joke of this, sea­son I have been able to take it a lit­tle better. As I’ve talked to a number of my friends, however, I’ve become convinced that this quarter and these weeks of despair are no joke to them.

Studies seem endless; recitals loom frighteningly close; slipping grades seem hopelessly lost; se­vere disappointments that we can­not understand keep hitting us one after another.

Right now. the thought of pursu­ing a career seems a little stupid; the effort to try to solve that room­mate problem seems too great to attempt; the words that you snap­ped out when you were tired seem harsh and totally unforgivable.

Bluntly speaking, life appears to be a mess.

Some of you may not be fighting the battle-of discouragement. For those of you who are. however, just remember this: we will make it through the next four weeks.

I have no pious phrases, no stock consolation, no gentle pats on the back with the phrase, “all things work together." No. all I have is sympathy and encourage­ment.

Last year during my ten-week pit of despair. I confided to a friend that I was struggling with loneli­ness-one .of the most devastating feelings imaginable. For some reason, she felt compelled to as­sume the back-slapping, “every­thing works together” attitude which would have been commend­able had she followed it up with real earing, a real desire to help a fellow believer through a hard time.

As one modern philosopher suc­cinctly commented. “Kind words never die. but without kind deeds they get very sick.”

Intercessory prayer founded on real caring for others will ease tis all through the next few weeks. Even though time is at a minimum for a lot of us. just insisting on tak­ing time to listen to. to pray with our most precious earthly com­modity—our friends—may be the final tug on the rope that will hoist someone out of the slough of des­pond .

Keep plugging. Or. as President Reagan would say, stay the course- -you will make it.

by Nancy Crick

“Miracles happen here” an­nounces the sign at the entrance to the office where students compile the volume anticipated yearly by- returning collegians. The prepara­tion for this volume, the college’s yearbook, the Miracle, involves about twenty people with planning initiated over a year in advance.

The individual who contributes the most hours is the book’s editor, Bryan Armstrong. Armstrong co­ordinates the efforts of the staff in an attempt to create what he views a “history picture book. ”

Armstrong defined their pur­pose as “to capture and record a year of history.” Noting that they don’t make statements or take stands, Armstrong continued that the Miracle staff aims to include in each book "everything that makes Cedarville College special to you.”

One specific goal is to include photos of as many people on cam­pus as possible. The editor explained that while some people are easy to include because they’re so visible, the challenge comes in capturing on film those who just go to classes and hang around the dorms.

. He continued that individuals like Ron Hobar, who incidently claimed the most space in the index, seem to be everywhere; they’re the people who are easy to include.

Staff photographer and dark­room worker Dan Snyder con­firmed this remark further defining their purpose as “to provide a book that represents a cross-section of the college and to highlight the events of the year.”

Snyder commented that he notices students, when they first receive their book, glancing through to see if their picture is somewhere other than on their class page. “It makes them feel im­portant,” he remarked.

Getting this “picture history book” out to the students involves efforts beginning with the editor selecting design concepts, decid­ing what will be included and where it will be placed. Armstrong related that he had began concen­trated efforts on the 1983 Miracle last August after attending to final details of the 1982 volume through July.

The work for the ’82 book, though, was not fully completed until the books were picked up at the publisher’s in Tennessee and distributed to the students during registration week..

After graduating in June, Armstrong explained that he will carry his editor’s responsibilities until mid-September when he will complete the final proofs.

Ideas for the Miracle’s design come from magazines, other school’s yearbooks and the

editor's imagination.Armstrong remarked that the

’83 book will include concepts he has viewed in Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated.

“There are no new ideas,” he as­serted.

Armstrong hopes that students will receive this year’s book during next fall’s registration week. Senior books will be mailed no later than October. He continued that students can expect more color and “maybe a few new sections ” but is keeping the rest a secret.

The staff, which meets weekly to plan and prepare the pages, in­cludes photographers, darkroom workers and general staff person­nel who complete layouts and write copy. Responsibility is the major trait the editor expects in his staff.

Being on the staff, he explained, demands time from studies and ob­ligations to meet deadlines. Most staff members put in.about two to four hours a week on their sec­tions. His sister Cindy, who han­dles secretarial duties, puts in a few more, "and I probably put in 25 to thirty a week.” Armstrong re­ported.

About 90% of the staff has had previous experience with high school yearbooks or newspapers and about half of those have what he qualified as "good experience:" He emphasized, though, "If they’re responsible. 1 can train them to be good.”

Staff member Shelly Frank explained that she was an editor on her high school staff and wanted to get involved here after seeing last year’s book and its quality.

“I'm learning better, more ef­fective ways of doing layouts." she commented, further noting that she has continued to be impressed with the book, after seeing theorganiza- tion instituted by the editor.

His experience with a yearbook, like Miss Frank’s began in high school. Having an excellent ad­visor, Armstrong reported that he learned all he knows about year­book there. Currently he is advised by Patsy Dixon and his publisher's area field representative.

“She’s a sharp lady,” Armstrong remarked, describing Mrs. Dixon. “Anything she’s going to do will be quality.”

"At the moment she’s feeling her way,” he continued, explain­ing that she is unfamiliar with much of the procedure since this is her first year with the book. "In the future years as she learns more, she will be more involyed,” he added.

Their publisher, Josten’s, has a field representative for this area from whom Armstrong can gain input. He explained that the repre­sentative tells him what he can do and cannot do and works out prices. “I really appreciate him a

Bryan Armstrong, yearbook editor

lot,” he commented.Pricing involves a base cost with

additions for special cover desig­ns, end sheets, full color, spot color and additional pages. Meet­ing deadlines and sending color sections to the publisher early re­sult in cost reductions.

Each student pays $ 16.65 for his book through his student services fee. The book actually costs about $23. though. Armstrong explained that the difference is made up by receipts from commercial adver­tisements, church advertisements and parent patrons. He hopes to add a church patron section to accomodate local churches which wish to help but can’t afford a full ad.

A sponsorship program is also under consideration which will in­volve a business sponsoring a sec­tion or a block of color. Small amounts of money also come in from book sales to faculty and

staff, and this year the senior class will contribute toward the color used in their section.

He admits, however, that he could always use more money. “1 would love to do a lull-color. 500- page book.” lie noted, but finances limit.him.

Cedarville College, though, through the Student Services Fee, offers him an ideal marketing situ­ation. “1 don’t have to sell the book, it’s already sold.” He added that many larger colleges and uni­versities in the area, due to lack of interest and other marketing prob­lems, have smaller accounts with Josten’s than he does.

He also explained the Cedarville student cooperation during the shooting of Class photos has de­veloped into a good relationship with the professional photographer who works for him.

Armstrong notes that this photo­grapher spends more time with in­

dividuals while taking pictures here since he doesn’t have to put up with the verbal abuse he would re­ceive from students at schools like Central State or the University of Dayton..

He also noted appreciation for the support received from Clifford Johnson, Academic V.P.

In the-process of getting last year’s book to the publisher, Armstrong, with a smile, remem­bered several unusual experiences. “There have been so many that I wouldn’t want to count them." he remarked.

In many of these situations, he recalled, he had done something wrong and the Lord worked it out for him.

One specific incident he remem­bered. though, wasn't his fault. At one group photo session a person who wasn’t a student got into the picture. Having recorded all of their names, Armstrong left the group of about fifty for the office.

After the picture was printed and included on a page layout, index­ing began. Indexing is when each appearance of a person's name in the book is matched with his name in the back. The non-student name, however, wasn't on any stu­dent lists he"could find.

After spending a great deal of time chasing down leads and hold­ing up following procedures. Armstrong, finally found someone who could explain how this indi­vidual got into the picture. "It wasn’t amusing at the time, but now I have to laugh.” the editor noted, explaining that he believed the incident wouldn't have oc­curred had the people involved realized the extra work it would in­volve for him.

Hesitating to cite specific prob­lems of being an editor. Armstrong asserted. "For the most part, the advantages outweigh the disadvan­tages. "

He questions whether his work is noticed sometimes when stu­dents don’t show up for group pic: tures or fail to cooperate at the ses­sion. but again stated. "For the most part. I appreciate what we get from the students.’'

“It’s not always easy getting stuck in this office." he joked as piano practice went on overhead and the ceiling creaked under each footstep. He appeared comfort­able, though, in the low-ceilinged room w ith two fish tanks gurgling and Garfield comic strips and post­ers tacked around the room.

He cited that he has learned a lot about disciplining his time, deal­ing with people and managing a budget.

"Miracles happen here" pro­claims the sign on the Ambassador Hall basement door. Well, at least the Miracle happens here.
